Sinister Wisdom
Sinister Wisdom, a multicultural lesbian literary & art
journal, celebrates 36 years of continuous publishing in 2013. Founded
in 1976 in Charlotte, NC, Sinister Wisdom publishes three issues a year but in 2014 is moving to FOUR issues a year. Each issue of Sinister Wisdom features lesbian-feminist essays, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction.
Sinister Wisdom needs to raise $3,000 to support our publishing for 2014. In 2014, Sinister Wisdom
will publish three thematic issues of the journal, including a thematic
issue on lesbian health care workers and a thematic issue on southern
lesbian-feminist herstory.
In addition to publishing three issues of Sinister Wisdom, Sinister Wisdom will publish the second Sapphic Classic: Cheryl Clarke's Living as a Lesbian. Sapphic Classics are reprints of iconic lesbian-feminist poetry books. Sinister Wisdom returns these books to print as a way to nurture and stimulate dialogue within the lesbian community. The first Sapphic Classic was Minnie Bruce Pratt's Crime Against Nature, published in April 2013. Sinister Wisdom is thrilled to publish Cheryl Clarke's Living as a Lesbian in January 2014.
